Pricing Policy
Most photography is performed on-location, however we can photograph your portrait or professional headshot in a studio setting. Prices are not posted on-line, however below is a guide to our policy and procedures. We are happy to discuss specific pricing with you personally. Our mission is to provide high quality and high value photography.
Executive Headshots, Portraiture and Modeling sessions
Professional headshots and portraits are photographed on location or in a studio setting. Photographs may be taken at a specific location and background of your choice or using one of our standard backdrops. Pricing is based on an hourly rate, the number of locations, the amount of time estimated for the session, and whether or not additional assistance is required. Professional photographic retouching is included. See Post Processing below for additional information. Executive portrait photography is provided with full licensing for unlimited use. When your professional headshot or portrait is photographed in studio, the camera may be tethered to a computer making it possible for you to see the results and make your selections on the spot.

Corporate Events
Events are priced based on an hourly rate with a two hour minimum. We will gladly schedule a professional consultation and discuss pricing with you in person.
Family Portraiture
Family Portrait sessions usually take between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the number of people being
photographed. We arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to the start of the session in order to set up the backdrop (if used) and lighting equipment. Breaking down the equipment at the end of the session
takes about 10-15 minutes. This time is included with the session fee – you are not charged additionally for set-up and break-down. Your Portrait session includes:
- Photography for your entire family and, on request couples and family units
- Individual portraits are not included
- Basic retouching and finishing
- Addition of special effects - conversion to Black and White, etc.
- No specific limit to the number of high quality digital photographs for you to choose from (on-line)

All portrait photography includes minor photographic post-processing for cropping, fine-tuning of lighting characteristics such as brightness and contrast, and minor retouching as well as the application of special effects such as soft focus, conversion to black and white, sepia-tone, cream-tone, and various other effects.
